lwa anime will probably cover the plots of the two shorts but you should still watch them anyway because the first one is great and the second one is very pretty

I wouldn't use worry, but that's why it wasn't on my radar. I saw monster girls and went on the the next thing.

please don't judge something as being remotely similar to monster musume literally just because it has the word "monster girls" in the english title

i'm not sure there's any way demi-chan could be further from that

I haven't watched any anime in at least a year before this season, what are these yuri overtones shows that are good

Flip Flappers, Symphogear and New Game, though New Game mostly focuses on a larger cast with only one actual couple

controversial: utena is gay but, the show is less gay than flip flappers or symphogear, if we are counting based on raw gay-per-second and how many scenes have people singing about how much they love each other while deflecting giant razor blades

it's a good show though you should watch it and i'm mostly joking

Akiba Strip was... ok. Bit more aggressive with the fanservice this week, but it also brought in a bit of the ridiculous world-building that I liked in the Vita game with that whole "OMG It's Akiba's #1 freelance maid!" thing.

the thing that bothers me is that the character stuff just isn't as fun to watch as it is in undead & undressed, the game didn't have amazing character writing but i feel like there was more charm to it than there is to the anime

Oh crap I totally forgot Akiba's Trip was getting an anime and that it has already started. I hope it is like the Persona 4/Neptunia ones which were cheesy yet still entertaining.

it's not the same cast as the game and the original cast for it is a lot less fun, and it's a lot weirder than the game

So the three girls in Akiba Strip are voiced by the same people as the three main characters in Sore ga Seiyuu, and they were credited as the idol group they formed in that show.

I wonder if they brought all 3 on just for the purposes of making that joke, or if "Earphones" is actually succeeding as an idol group in Japan.

Either way, it's kinda cool.

akiba's trip is the same staff who made sore ga seiyuu apparently so that's probably why

that sounds kind of grotesque, unless kyoani really is such an environment

one of the big reasons kyoani shows are as well made as they are is because they, as a studio, are historically ridiculously good at keeping their poo poo together

i dunno about stress-free, but they treat their employees better than lots of other studios. a big example is the drama that came up a while back about how pa works treats inbetweeners, that's just common practice at a few studios because of weird views on what the job is about, and was actually carried over from practices at production ig. afaik kyoani's a lot more lax on that than lots of other studios

Wasn't that 'drama' just one lady complaining because PA Works was pretty much trying to politely tell her she should leave and also not understanding that being an inbetweener is more of a part time job that leads to being a real animator? I remember her getting called out on it by a bunch of other animators.

i'm not really a huge expert on the subject but there was a big post on sakugablog about it explaining why pa works isn't a bad studio but also why the situation was kind of hosed up and the industry has a pretty unfair view of inbetweening

https://blog.sakugabooru.com/2016/11/08/anime-craft-weekly-18-pa-worls-but-not-really/

basically, inbetweening is definitely viewed pretty unfavorably, but that kind of ends up being an excuse to treat people who do the job like poo poo for something that still places them under a pretty heavy load, pa works just has it a practice to treat them better for a few years before deciding to lay down the hammer

I believe this is the case. The manga starts a lot differently from the anime but by the time the anime gets going, the manga starts to bring the anime plot lines in halfway through (like the invisible storm as well as the introduction of the glasses Yuri) and it presumably resolves the same way (I dropped Yurikuma around episode 3).

generally people who hate the anime seem to love the manga so i doubt they end up being quite the same thing
